below: More words, this time “It’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood.” A quote from the TV show, ‘Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood’ along with a picture of Daniel Striped Tiger, a hand puppet from the same show.

I had heard about this event but I was away in mid-August which was the week that it occurred. I knew that it was on a lane off McCaul but I couldn’t remember where. McCaul isn’t that long so I started walking north at Queen. At Dundas, this is what I saw:

below: The edge of a mural by Emily May Rose beckons you to come and take a closer look.

I knew that I was in the right place when I saw the word (is it a word?) #womxnpaintto painted on the ground. So I followed the little yellow arrow and walked behind the buildings to a lane running east/west behind Dundas Street.

below: The mural is higher than the fence by quite a bit so as I walked beside the fence I was able to take this picture.

below: Three murals on a double garage. On the right is a woman with blue and orange rays by @dbetty13 (aka Désiré Betty). The other woman, the one with the wild turquoise hair was painted by toest (aka Sarah Gilmore). On the side of the building, partially obscured by the car is a mural painted by @nightarcade (aka Sarah Cannon).

below: An attempt to get a closer look at the side of the garage (with St. Patricks RC church in the background).

below: A fence with some murals – starting at the end with ” What You Do is Magic” by Shelby McLeod. Magic hands perhaps.
